Hey everyone. Welcome to the first of what I hope to be many reviews. Enjoy
Warning: The language in this review may not be suitable for minors. If you're under the age of 18 and have not heard the word "fuck" before…..well you have now
NKNKNKNKNKNKNKNKNKNKNK
We see Author Fighter Nukid sitting at a blue desk, seemingly looking towards a video camera. He wasn't wearing his usual attire however. He was still wearing a black jacket, but now he wore a black cap on his forehead along with a black tie around his neck. Around his mouth, there were black pen drawn lines around his mouth, which looked like a beard. He sat up straight on a cushioned chair, a calm smile on his face
"Hello I'm the Nostalgia Kid, I remember it because you're all idiots" Nukid introduced with a quick flick of his hands towards the camera "and welcome everybody to the first chapter of my Nostalgia Critic parody! I'm not the first author to be doing this, since the Fictor Brothers are doing a great job with "The Insane Critic"
"However, what I aim to do in my version is to focus on things they may not. Since over the years I've become quite the Otaku, my focus will probably be more towards Anime and Video Games, though I will at times focus on movies and fanfiction too" Nukid explained calmly. From Nukids left, came in X Prodigy, bearing a questionable look
"Nukes, I understand that you're parodying the Nostalgia Critic, but what's with the cosplay of him?" X asked, referring to Nukid NC attire
"Oh this?" Nukid said as he looked down on his clothes "I'm just getting into the right mind set for this review"
"I understand that, but dude you've dressed up just like him!" X pointed out
"Ah ah ah, not exactly" Nukid waved his finger, before grabbing and lifting up his tie "Nostalgia Critics tie is red. Mines black!"
"O…kay" X nodded nervously, before retreating out of camera view. Nukid turned his attention back to the camera
"Now, to start off these reviews, we're going to look at arguably the two most popular Manga/Anime out today, and decide which one is truly the best. Naruto Vs One Piece"
"I know what you're saying "but the Fictor Brothers have already done this, so what will the difference with your review be?" Well……besides an actual full and up to date knowledge of both series, very little! Anyway, on with the match!" Nukid proclaimed (Just a joke Fictors, you did an okay job)
Naruto Vs One Piece
"As I said earlier, these are pretty much the biggest anime series out today, with both shows having several hundred episodes under its name, and each with its own loyal fanbase. Even if you're only a little interested in anime, then chances are you've seen one of these series" Nukid explained
"Before we begin, let me give you all a brief sum up of the two series" Nukid said "Naruto is the tale of a blonde haired, loud mouth Shinobi who has big dreams of becoming Hokage, leader and strongest ninja of The Hidden Leave Village. The series follows Naruto on a journey across the Ninja world, growing stronger with every battle, and facing enemies as they come"
"One Piece follows the adventure of Monkey D. Luffy, an energetic pirate with a love for adventure and the ability to stretch his body to a limitless amount. The story goes through his journey across the Grand Line, finding new crewmates, battling Pirates and Marines, and hoping to acquire the legendary treasure, One Piece"
"And now, without any further ado, let us begin!" Nukid exclaimed "First up: Main characters"
Round 1: Main Characters (Pictures of Naruto and Luffy flash onto screen)
Nukid stared silently at the screen for a moment, until he scratched his head uncomfortably "Wow, first part and its already hard. The fact is comparing these two is like trying decide who is more insane: Caboose or Tobi"
Nukid probably shouldn't have said that, because at the moment Caboose and Tobi jumped into the river like frantic dogs
"I LIKE BEING A GOOD BOY!!"
"I LIKE ORANGE JUICE!!"
"GET OUT OF HERE!! RANKYAKU!!" Nukid shouted, before sending them air blades with his legs towards them sending them flying out of the room. With that, Nukid calmed down and turned to the screen
"Like I was saying, comparing these two is hard because we're looking at very similar characters. Both of them are strong willed, determined characters that believe in doing the right thing and grow stronger and stronger as the series progresses. But, if you look hard enough, you can see what separates these characters, and which ultimately is the best" Nukid said
(Screen changes to scenes of Naruto Uzumaki)
"First up, we have Naruto. Besides the fact the guy dresses and acts opposite to what you'd expect from a Ninja, you can quickly grow to like Naruto. He is determined to achieve his goal and the guy never gives in," Nukid ranted
"What I do like about Naruto more than Luffy is his backstory. Kishimoto really makes you feel sorry for this character, yet at the same time make him seem awesome. He does this by explaining that on the day Naruto was born, a Nine tailed demon came and attack Konoha"
(Screen changes to scenes of The Nine Tailed Fox attacking the village and killing many Shinobi)
"You see? THIS is what happens when you give Pokemon steroids!! They should've realised that when they created Godzilla by giving that Charmander steroids!" Nukid ranted, before giving a calm smile
"I bet you guys didn't know Godzilla was merely a Charmander on steroids. I bet you thought he was a monster made by a nuclear explosion to symbolise the Japanese fear of weapons of mass destruction after the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!!…..Well now you know, and knowing is half the battle"
"G.I. JOE!!"
(screen changes to the Nine Tails getting sealed into baby Naruto)
"Anyway, the Nine Tails gets sealed into Naruto, and due to the belief he is the Nine Tails reincarnated, nearly everyone in the village hates him. This gives Naruto an edge over Luffy because you can really sympathise with the guy, and you can't help but root for him as he tries to become Hokage" Nukid said with a warm smile
(Screen changes to scenes of Luffy)
"Next is Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy is an energetic, simple minded character who happened to have eaten the Gomu Gomu No Mi fruit, granting him stretching powers. Normally Luffy has three things on his mind. Nakama, adventure and food" Nukid explained
"The thing about Luffy, he's like three people rolled into one. He can be Luffy the fun loving idiot…."
--
"Yosh! Hey everyone, let's have a party and stick chopsticks in our noses!" Luffy proposed
"Hahaha! Man, Luffy is so stupid and hilarious! We love this guy!"
--
"Then there's the determined and brave Luffy…"
--
"Robin, you're mother died so you could live! Don't waste the life she sacrificed her life for!" Luffy roared towards Nami at Enies Lobby
"Wow…..Luffy is so determined to help his Nakama…..it's like there's no way he can lose!"
--
"Then there's Luffy the demon…"
--
Luffy stared at Rob Lucci with a face of pure anger
"Lucci…..I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR HURTING ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"…….I think I just shit myself…."
--
"To those who think Luffy is just a stupid and Loony all the time, you are VERY WRONG! Luffy can go from fun loving, to encouraging, to fucking monstrous! Naruto may have a demon inside of him, Luffy IS a demon!"
"This means that more than once Luffy has literally stormed into enemy territory and took on countless enemies in order to save his friends. You'd think with all those enemies, he couldn't win, but heck even Enies Lobby, a marine capital couldn't stop him!" Nukid said, before going into deep thought
"Hmm, you know Luffy always seems to go to enemy fortresses and fight unimaginable odds to save a female friend…is it me or does he remind you of someone?" Nukid wondered
(Screen shows picture of Mario)
Nukid shrugged "nah, must be imagining things"
Nukid sighed "Now, despite his great personality and backstory, Naruto has one big problem. Do you know what that is?" Nukid asked rhetorically "NARUTO IS A WUSS!!"
Anonymous crowd: "BOOOOO!!!!"
"Shut up! All right, that may have sounded a tad unfair, but hear me out. He's a very strong character with a lot of potential, but surely you've noticed that Naruto needs someone to train them whenever he loses a fight! Think about it" Nukid said
Cutaway gag…..
Screen changes to Naruto standing by himself in an open field
"Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I'm gonna be the next Hokage and toughest Ninja in the Leaf Village!" Naruto boasted
Haku suddenly comes up and smashes Naruto to the ground. Naruto then gets up and runs over to Kakashi
"WAAAA!!! Kakashi sensei! Show me how to beat that guy!!"
--
We see Naruto, again standing by himself in the field
"Ok, I've made it to the finals of the Chunin Exam. I'm gonna win it for sure!" Naruto proclaimed
Neji walks over and smashes Naruto to the ground. Naruto gets up and then runs over to Jiraiya
"Pervy Sage! Show me how to control my demon power so I can beat Neji!"
End gag….
"So yea, what lowers him in my opinions is the fact he needs help fairly often in order to win. Unlike, Luffy" Nukid stated
"This is what separates Luffy from Naruto. Luffy has taken on unstoppable forces, and after perhaps a few losses here and there, will prevail and win. But here's the thing though. Luffy NEVER needs someone to teach him how to win. Luffy comes up with his own moves by himself, will fight someone without someone to guide him, and even against uncertain odds, he doesn't give in and show fear. True, he would've had training as a kid, but ever since he's became a pirate, he did it all by himself" Nukid explained
Cutaway gag….
We now see Luffy standing in the same open field, a huge grin on his face
"Yosh! Me and my friends are gonna sail across the Grand Line and find the tresure One Piece!" Luffy proclaimed
Rob Lucci suddenly appears and punches Luffy to the ground. Luffy gets back up, rubs his face, and then..
"GOMU GOMU NO GATTLING GUN!!" Luffy roared, sending hundreds of quick punches towards Lucci, beating the crap out of the CP9 agent
End gag…..
"I think I made my point on that one" Nukid nodded with satisfaction "that's not to say Luffy is without flaws. Yes, his constant character change may be hard to get past, and sometimes he can be hard to take seriously"
(Screen changes to Luffy dancing with two wooden chopsticks between his nose and mouth, looking like a Walrus)
"…..Yea, but really, in the end that just adds to his charm. Things that would scare a smart man don't even shake Luffy. If his friends are in danger, you could send Satan after him and they STILL wouldn't make him shake in fear. Luffy will stop at nothing to protect what is important to him" Nukid explained
"That leads onto my final point on this round. Luffy is the only one that actually keeps his promise to save friends in danger. When Nico Robin needed saving from the CP9, Luffy DID save her despite the odds. Naruto…….different story altogether"
(Naruto: I swear….I'll save my friend Sasuke and bring him back to Konoha!!)
"Kid, its been over 3 years and you still haven't got him back, I've grown tired of waiting!!" Nukid shouted
"Anyway, both characters are good in their own ways, but Luffy truly emphasises what it means to be a main character. He's stronger, he's funnier, he's more kickass. Point goes to One Piece!" Nukid proclaimed
Winner: One Piece (Luffy punches Naruto off screen)
"But what's a main character without supporting characters?" Nukid asked "Well lets see how they fare in round two!"
Round Two: Supporting Characters (Screen shows pictures of The Konoha Genin and The Straw Hat Crew)
"You know, no self respecting shonen series is complete without a batch of crazy, unique characters with great background stories and personalities. And the good thing about both series is that they both deliver very well" Nukid said
"One Piece has you meet Luffys crew one by one, which REALLY lets you get to know each character. And good god One Piece has by far the craziest supporting characters I've ever seen in a Manga/Anime!" Nukid said with excitement, which turned into a sad sigh
"Unfortunately, this may contribute to why some don't like One Piece. The characters in it are very over the top and unique in style and personality, so you really have to watch it in the right mind set or else you're not gonna like this series" Nukid sighed, before looking at the screen angrily
"It's unfair though! Surely everyone can enjoy a living skeleton with an afro and panties fetish!" Nukid stated
His reply was utter silence….
"Point taken" Nukid said, giving up
"Anyway, Naruto also has a lot of unique characters that deserve merit, such as the lazy genius Shikamaru, the casual yet kickass Kakashi, the bushy browed shinobi Rock Lee and his even more energetic sensei Maito Gai. There's a lot to love about these characters and it's a joy to see them get the limelight once in a while"
"That being said, there is something that really holds them back. Once a character has gotten his limelight….chance are they're not gonna have so much time to shine after. It's like some characters just expire during the series but Kishimoto wants to keep them there for the hell of it" Nukid explained, before pondering
"Though, Shippuden is supposed to be the series that expands on the side characters. How many characters from the first series have gotten main character treatment so far?" Nukid
(Screen shows picture of Shikamaru, Gaara and Kakashi)
"…..That it? Only Shikamaru, Gaara and Kakashi has gotten a decent, main character part in Shippuden?! I thought the point of the series was to show how they've developed and gotten stronger?!" Nukid exclaimed, jumping out his chair in disbelief
"Where's Rock Lees time to shine?! When do we get to learn more about Kiba and Shino past? When do we get to see Hinata and Tenten have sex…..okay that last one probably isn't gonna happen, but you guys get my point. Kishimoto makes these awesome characters, but rarely does he capitalise on them" Nukid said, sitting back down
"To be fair, a lot of these said characters have interesting past and traits, and it's cool that Naruto is the one that helps bring them to the light. However….don't you think they come to their senses a little TOO easily? Think about it…."
Cutaway gag…
We see Neji in his fight against Naruto
"I am Neji, and I believe that everything is decided by fate and you can't fight it" Neji stated
"You're wrong Neji!" Naruto stated
"Really? Okay, I'll change my way of thinking"
--
We see Gaara in his fight against Naruto
"I live for one reason, and that is to kill! I love only myself, I trust only myself!" Gaara snarled at Naruto
"Your way of living is wrong Gaara!" Naruto shouted
"Really? Damn, guess I'll change my ways from now on"
End gag….
"One Piece however, you're an idiot not to know each members past and ambition by the time you've finished it. Every character can make you laugh, make you watch in awe, and truth be told, every character has moved me to tears" Nukid admitted
Cutaway gag….
We see Nukid, holding a cloth to his tear filled eyes as he sniffed loudly
"Oh Zoro, we know you'll become the best swordsman one day!" Nukid cried
--
"Oh Nami, what Arlong did to you and your mother was wrong!!"
--
"Oh Usopp, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO FIGHT LUFFY OVER SOME SHIP?!! WHY?!!"
--
"Oh Sanji, you have to go through so much for your beliefs in cooking!"
--
"Oh Chopper, we know you'll make Dr. Hiluluk proud!"
--
"WAAAAAH!!!! WHY DID THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ROBIN?! WHY?!!"
--
"Oh Franky, what happened to Tom was wrong!"
--
"Oh Brooke, even though you're skeleton, you'll meet up with Laboon again!"
End gag…
"Honestly, this review can't explain just how awesome the supporting characters are. There is SO MUCH detail in each one you can't help but appreciate Odas work. There's only one way to appreciate these fine characters, and that's by watching One Piece!" Nukid declared
"Naruto sets suitable supporting character for the show, but One Piece is just better than it needs to be. Without a doubt, point goes to One Piece!"
Winner: One Piece (Straw Hat crew kicks the crap out of Genin)
"But what about the Antagonists? How do the cutthroats and Ninjas fair? Time for the villains to duke it out!" Nukid proclaimed
Round 3: Villains (Picture of Pein and Buggy The Clown appear)
"Now the thing about both series is that neither really see their best villains until later on. As such, we're left with pretty lame excuses for villains at the start of both series" Nukid Explained
"Unlike most people, I would say One Piece starts off with better villains. This may sound weird since I doubt many got good impressions off them. Believe me, I share those first impressions" Nukid assured
Cutaway gag….
(Picture of Alvida appears onscreen)
"Fatty" Nukid said dryly
(Picture of Morgan appears onscreen)
"Jerk"
(Picture of Buggy The Clown appears onscreen)
"Retarded Clown"
(Picture of Captain Kuro appears onscreen)
"Wasted opportunity!"
(Picture of Don Kreig appears onscreen)
"Loser"
(Picture of Arlong appears onscreen)
"Oh now he looks stupid! No way is he a…"
(Screen changes to scene of Arlong killing Namis mother, Bellemere)
"….Well that's shut me up"
End gag….
"However, as bad as you may think they are, they were certainly better than my impressions about the first Naruto villains" Nukid stated
Cutaway gag….
(Picture of Mizuki appears onscreen)
"Bland"
(Picture of the Demon Brothers onscreen)
"Bland"
(Picture of Zabuza appears onscreen)
"Bland and overrated"
(Picture of Gato appears onscreen)
"Bland"
(Picture of Haku appears onscreen)
"Bland and somewhat creepy"
(Picture of the Three Sound Ninjas appears onscreen)
"Bland"
(Picture of Orochimaru appears onscreen)
"Finally! A good villain!"
End gag….
Nukid shifted uncomfortably in his seat "I might regret calling Zabuza overrated, hehe. Sorry, he just never really gave me a big impression"
"Now, it would hardly be fair if I compared the starting villains, now would it? And the great thing about both series is that they both get excellent villains as they go along" Nukid said
"The One Piece villains later on in the series are just…..wow, what a turn around. You've got the diabolical Crocodile, the god like Enel, the simply awesome CP9, the three invincible Marine Admirals, and of course the Seven Warlords of the sea. These guys are just insane in strength! Hell, more than half of them make Chuck Norris look like a wuss!" Nukid stated
At that moment, Chuck Norris burst into the room and walked up to Nukid, showing a face of pure anger. Suddenly a fist flew out of Chucks beard and smashed Nukid right in the face, knocking him to the ground! Chuck then turned around and left
"….Wahoo….first…Family Guy….reference…." Nukid groaned, slowly sitting back onto his chair
"This does cause a problem with the One Piece villains. THEY'RE TOO POWERFUL!! Seriously, you'll wonder how the heck The Straw Hats will ever beat them. More than once the group has been brought to the brink of destruction by these guys!" Nukid exclaimed, before calming down
"Naruto villains however are a lot more tamed. The Akatsuki are, in my opinion, the shining achievement in the series. They're what you want from an evil organisation. Strong, evil, mysterious and unique, but they're also not so strong that the heroes can ACTUALLY win!" Nukid explained
"One thing I will always credit Kishimoto for is how well he handled these guys. They're each given much time to flesh out these superb villains and each have awesome powers. You have the living puppet Sasori, the bang loving Deidara, the cannibalistic Zetsu, the money loving Kakuza, the shark demon Kisame, the fangirl messiah Itachi, the Axel bait Konan, the not so good boy Tobi/Madara, the torn and powerful leader Pein, and of course….Hidan…" Nukid finished the last word with a happy sigh
(Picture of Hidan appears above Nukid)
"I..I adore Hidan. I recently watched the arc where he & Kakuza were in, and let me tell you, every second he was on was a moment of pure joy and awesomeness. That same awesomeness you feel when watching The Major from Hellsing. He's sadistic, but you love him for it" Nukid ranted, before saluting towards the camera
"Hidan, god bless you….or Jashin bless you. You and Killerbee are Kishimoto crowning achievements" Nukid said with a salute
"Anyway, despite being a lot weaker than the One Piece villains, Naruto wins this round. They feel like real villains, and the Akatsuki are just too awesome to put into words. Also, unlike most One Piece villains, they're actually trying to take over the world" Nukid explained
M. Bison: "OF COURSE!"
"Hey! This parody is completely original! That means no jokes stolen from the Nostalgia Critic, got it?!" Nukid warned
"………..Big lipped alligator moment"
"Oh god…" Nukid groaned "….point goes to Naruto"
Winner: Naruto (Pein smashes Buggy out of the screen)
"Now that we've looked at the characters, how does the design in both series fair? Let's take a look!"
Round 4: Design (Picture of Naruto and One Piece Logo appear)
"Now, everyone and their grandmas know about One Piece and its art style. One Piece incorporates a very cartoony style that has put off many anime fans from watching it. This has always been a draw back for the series…..even though Dragonball and Fairy Tail both have THE SAME STYLE!!" Nukid shouted the last bit
Nukid sighed "I suppose it did get some attention…..from the wrong kind of people"
Cutaway gag…
Alfred R. Kahn, leader of 4Kids sat at the centre of a huge table surrounded by fellow 4Kids members. In the centre of the table was a TV, showing clips of One Piece
"Gentlemen, judging by these characters cartoonish style, we have found a new anime we can market" Kahn proclaimed to the fellow 4Kids members
"You mean another anime we can ruin with bad voice acting and abysmal editing my lord?" Asked Satan, who happened to be a member
"Yes! WE LOVE THE ABSYMAL EDITING AND BAD VOICE ACTING!!" Kahn laughed
"Bring on the edits!!" Hitler ordered
"And all the terrible voice acting! Bring it all!" Dan Green cried for joy
"Excellent!" Mr Burns cackled
"The Dark Side is strong in this company!" Darth Vader roared
"HEIL 4KIDS!!" All members present shouted, with the Nazi Swastika and 4kids logo floating in the air
End gag…..
Nukid scratched his head "Did we side track a little?"
Anonymous crowd: "YES! A LOT!!"
"Thought so" Nukid nodded "Naruto has what I call, a more "Newbie friendly" appearance. It's slick, artsy and colourful, but it also makes it believable that there are serious scenes in this series, while in One Piece that may be hard to believe"
"I've always found it ironic that One Piece, the series with the more kid like art style has the much darker storyline, while Naruto –with the less darker story- has the more realistic style. Still, Naruto pretty much has a more appealing design, but be warned new fans of the series. Appearances can be deceiving. Point goes to Naruto"
Winner: Naruto (Naruto logo slams One Piece logo away)
"Now design is good and all, but what about the action it draws? Let's find out in round 5!"
Round 5: Fight Scenes (Picture of Four Tailed Naruto and Gear Second Luffy appear onscreen)
"I'm gonna make this one short because this one needs little explaining. One Piece has far superior fights than Naruto. They're fast paced, exciting and some of the later fight scenes are simply masterpieces" Nukid said
"Now, many Naruto fans will complain and say that Naruto fights scenes are "smarter" and are slower because they need more explaining" Nukid pointed out "I disagree. One Piece fights are really just as clever and intellectual as any Naruto fight, with some very clever powers"
"For example, Luffy beat Crocodile because his body way covered in blood and sweat, making him able to hurt him. Also, Luffy gear second is the ability to increase the speed of his cells, while Gear third is the ability to blow up his body since his hand to giant size thanks to his rubber skin. The truth is One Piece is just as clever as Naruto" Nukid stated
"I suppose now you're asking "then why does Kishimoto takes so much time on the fight scenes?" The answer……" Nukid shrugged "….I've got nothing. For some reason Kishimoto likes to draw out his fight scenes to long lengths, filling it with unneeded exposition and flashbacks we really didn't need half the time. They're not bad, and some are really good, but they're too damn slow!" Naruto snarled, but he suddenly let out a small giggle
"You know, you can actually compare this to the Marvel/DC sketch by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy" Nukid laughed
Cutaway gag…..
We see Naruto and Luffy in the same room together
"Not all my fight is action you know. Some of it was plotting, some of it was planning, and after the explaining of the plan which I plotted after I thought of it" Naruto stated
"Uh huh, you see this Naruto?" Luffy asked, showing his fists "I earned my powers before the fighting started, I developed them off screen, I beat my enemy with it, and then my show became better than yours"
End gag…..
"Ouch. Point goes to One Piece!"
Winner: One Piece (Gear Second Luffy smashes Four Tailed Naruto away)
"Our final round is the most important part of any series, the plot. Who will win? Let's find out!"
Round 6: Story (Picture of Gol D. Roger and the Kyuubi appear onscreen)
"First off, I need to point out that the stories are more different than you may first think. Naruto is set in a village that is government funded and allowed to be Ninjas. Basically, our main characters are technically on the side of the law"
"One Piece-as anyone can clearly guess- isn't. Luffy and his crew inadvertently declared themselves the enemy of the World Government in One Piece by raising the Jolly Roger. Obviously, they are against the law" Nukid explained
"They do have one thing in common. They are both epic and fantastic stories that are hard to miss out on. Both Kishimoto and Oda have created huge worlds in which so much happens, and what is awesome about both is that you can see the effect the characters are having on this world," Nukid said
"When Sasuke and Madara attacked the Five Kage Summit, you KNEW this would change everything. When The Straw Hat Crew invaded Enies Lobby and openly declared war on the World Government, you KNEW this would change the kind of adventures Luffy and his crew would go through"
Nukid sighed "I gotta be honest, I don't hold either story over the other. There are equal amounts of mystery, plot twist, revelations and general awesomeness that I have to say the stories are a tie"
"So, how am I gonna decide the winner? Well, I'm gonna look and compare something many might ignore. I'm gonna compare the theme in both series. By that, I mean the big question that is asked while watching it, and what gives both series a philosophical meaning to it" Nukid revealed
"Most shows have it. For example, in Full Metal Alchemist, it's "Is it okay to play with human life and try to play god?" In Trigun, it's "Is it okay to take another's life?" In Gundam Seed Destiny, it's "Should we live a controlled but happy life or a life of freedom, but with inevitable battles?" Nukid explained
"First, we have One Piece. Now, I believe the big theme in One Piece is this:" Nukid said, before looking up
(Text appears onscreen: "Is there justice in Absolute Justice?")
Nukid nodded "Hmm, that's a good theme. Is it right that the World Government force their laws and ideals onto people mercilessly? Do the ends justify the means? Has the World Government become worse than the Pirates themselves?! I like!"
"One Piece has a solid theme which fits really well with the story. Now, what about Naruto" Nukid asked
(Text appears onscreen: "Will the Ninja world ever unify and create peace?")
Nukid nodded "Okay, will the Ninja world ever achieve peace? That sounds………………………………………………………wait what?"
("Will the Ninja world ever unify and create peace?")
"Wha…..ah….ah…..What?…What?! WHAT?!!" Nukid screamed, jumping out of his chair
"Are you suggesting that the Ninja world, an economy that's income comes directly from all the fighting and war that appears in the land, WANTS PEACE?!! NO!! NOOO!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!" Nukid screamed, shaking madly and swinging like a lunatic
X Prodigy and Agent Liberi run into the and grabbed hold of Nukid, trying to restrain the mad assassin/critic
1 hour later…
Nukid is back on his chair, seemingly a lot calmer
"I'm….sorry for the outburst….it was very childish of me and I apologise. I just don't like it when a show I genuinely respected is given a theme such as…..a Ninja world wanting peace?! AAAHHHH!!! I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!" Nukid screamed, pointing threateningly at the screen, before X and Liberi quickly rush back into to restrain him
2 hours later…..
Nukid is back on his chair, once again a lot calmer
Nukid breathed in, and then "RAPE THIS GOOD SHOW?!! DAMN IT YOU'RE A DEAD MAN KISHIMOTO!!!"
X and Liberi-for a third time, rush in to stop the rampaging Nukid. Both showing looks of annoyance and frustration towards the Assassin
5 hours later…..
Nukid scratched his head embarrassingly "I….think I've made my point haven't I? Had this show been anything BUT Ninjas, that theme may have meant more sense. But, in a world about Ninjas, it's just contradictory"
"The One Piece theme is better. It involves the idea of freedom in the world, something a pirate strives for, and really makes you wonder which side is the real bad guys in this story. Point goes to One Piece!"
Winner: One Piece (Gol D. Roger smashes the Kyuubi out of the screen)
"And now, it's time for the "EPIC RECAP!!" Nukid roared
Round 1: Main Characters
"In Round 1, both characters proved to both be fun, unique characters that will always fight to win. However not only is Luffy much more interesting…he seems to understand the concept of "winning" better than Naruto. Point goes to One Piece" Nukid said
Round Two: Supporting Characters
"In Round 2, both shows give us interesting and colourful characters to enjoy, but unlike Naruto, One Piece actually lets you enjoy these characters regularly. Point goes to One Piece"
Round Three: Villains
"In Round 3, Naruto villains prove that sometimes being weaker and easier to kill makes for more balanced enemies. Point goes to Naruto"
Round Four: Design
"In Round 4, One Piece has a style of its own, and that proves to be its possible downfall. Point goes to Naruto"
Round Five: Fight Scenes
"In Round 5, One Piece fights are fast, fun, intelligent and a pleasure to the eye, Naruto fights prove to be the best cure for anyone unable to sleep. Point goes to One Piece"
Round Six: Story
"In Round 6, both series have amazing and diverse stories which are fun to see, but One Piece wins with a central theme that is isn't retarded. Point goes to One Piece"
Naruto: 2
One Piece: 4
"Well, there you have it. Now, I want to make this clear. Both series are excellent reads/watches. They are both fun, exciting, moving, detailed and both are some of the best examples of how to make a good manga/anime" Nukid stated
"But for me in general, what Naruto does, One Piece just does better. Better hero, better characters, better action, and better story. This has been my opinion, and I respect any opposing opinion…..that being said"
Nukid suddenly got off his chair and hid underneath the table "I bet those Naruto fanatics will be here…just about….now!"
BANG
Nukid could hear the sound of people smashing the door to the room, trying to get in. He was being hunted down
"He just stated One Piece is better than Naruto!" one fanatic snarled
"Kill the infidel!"
"Christ…" Nukid groaned, before looking up and saluting towards the camera "I'm the Nostalgia Kid, I remember it because you're all idiots!"
Well, there's my first review. Must say this was a lot of fun. Stay tuned for my next review!
